This is the story of hate crime survivor Pat Mayer and a rare glimpse into a 1991 ACT Up Chicago meeting, at the height of the AIDs crisis. I featured for In These Times Magazine previously unreleased footage from the PBS documentary End of the Night Stick. This footage is about the beating Chicago Police Officers Cosgrove and Manning committed against a gay man.
The Shortest End of the Stick is an upcoming 60 minute documentary that examines the reasons behind the ever-growing gender wealth gap and how the housing crisis has affected the wealth of single women, particularly women of color.
